Bilateral trade between India and Pakistan may touch USD 10 billion by 2015, if trade and investment barriers are removed, CII said Thursday.
In 2010-11, the bilateral trade between the two countries stood at USD 2.7 billion, with the trade balance heavily in favour of India.
Ahead of Commerce and Industry Minister Anand Sharma's three-day visit to Pakistan starting February 13, CII called for stronger economic linkages between the two countries.
India's top exports to Pakistan include sugar, cotton, man-made filaments and chemicals, while its imports comprise mineral fuels and organic chemicals.
Sharma would meet his Pakistani counterpart Makhdoom Amin Fahim to discuss ways to strengthen economic cooperation between the two nations.
At present, the 'positive list' agreed on by the two sides contains over 1,900 items that can be traded.
